IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-TIME - Delay Pedal Quick Start Guide

Overview

MODEL/BACK
Turn for browsing among the 16 models available. Push to go back when browsing in menus.
PARAMETER/SETUP
Push to access the selected model's additional parameters. Hold to access the global and preset setups.
A, B, TAP LEDS
Green if the preset is active. Amber if the preset has been edited. Blinking amber when browsing among banks. Off if bypassed. TAP blinks at preset current tempo. It blinks green when tempo is set internally, amber when tempo is set from the MIDI clock.
PRESET/SAVE
Turn for browsing among the 300 presets available. Push to save a preset.
MAIN PARAMETERS
Turn to edit the main parameter of the model. Although these knobs are common to all X-TIME models their function is custom to each one.
A, B, TAP FOOTSWITCHES
Press A or B to engage or bypass preset of the current bank. Hold A or B to access the X-MODE for the selected model. Press A+B to select a lower bank. Press B+TAP to select a higher bank. Press TAP to tap the tempo for the delay.

GLOBAL SETTINGS

Global settings affect X-TIME independently from which preset is selected.
To access the GLOBAL SETTINGS:

1. Push and hold the PARAMETER encoder.
2. Turn to browse to GLOBAL then push to select it.
3. Turn and push to browse and select the different settings.
4. Push the MODEL encoder to go back.

NAME MODE
Changes the way the preset names are displayed on the device NAME displays the name of the preset.
PC+NAME: displays the program change number and the name of the preset.
BNK+NAME: displays the bank number and the name of the preset.

BYPASS MODE
Sets the bypass technology.
TRUE: true bypass techonology.
SOFT: soft bypass technology.

CAB SIM
Selects the preferred Cabinet Simulator among 5 options.

SPILLOVER
Activates the spillover for the delay tails.

MAIN BPM
Sets the global BPM for all presets with BPM MODE set to GLOBAL. This is modified by the TAP TEMPO footswitch or by the MIDI Clock input.

OPERATIVE MODE
Sets the operative mode for the pedal.
LIVE: in live mode the audio signal is taken from the analog jack input, processed by the DSP and sent to all outputs.
INTERFACE: in interface mode, the analog audio input is split and routed to different USB outptus to record both clean and processed tracks.

The full list of GLOBAL settings is listed in the user manual.

PRESET SETTINGS

Preset settings affect only the currently selected preset.
To access the PRESET SETTINGS:

1. Push and hold the PARAMETER encoder.
2. Turn to browse to PRESET then push to select it.
3. Turn and push to browse and select the different settings.
4. Push the MODEL encoder to go back.

EXP. LEARN
Learn a new assignement for the expression pedal to create complex macros that tweak multiple parameters at the same time by using the external pedal.

BPM MODE
Sets the BPM mode for the selected preset.
GLOBAL: the BPM follows the GLOBAL BPM set by the MIDI Clock, the last tapped tempo or the MAIN BPM set in the GLOBAL SETTINGS.
PRESET: the BPM follows the preset BPM. In this scenario a tapped tempo affects both the current preset and the MAIN BPM.

The full list of PRESET settings is listed in the user manual.

ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS

In addition to the main parameter set, each model has other parameters editable via the PARAMETER encoder.
To access the additional PARAMETERS:

1. 1.Push the PARAMETER encoder to enter the PARAMETERS list.
2. Turn to browse among the PARAMETERS then push to select one.
3. Turn to edit the selected PARAMETER.
4. Push the PARAMETER encoder to go back to the PARAMETERS list.
5. Push the MODEL encoder to exit the parameter list.

The full list of PARAMETERS is listed in the user manual.

SAVING PRESETS

To save a preset:

1. Push the PRESET encoder to enter in the saving process.
2. The first letter of the preset name starts blinking indicating the cursor position.
3. Rename the preset:
   • Turn the PRESET encoder to select a character.
   • Turn the MODEL encoder to change the cursor's position.
4. Push the PRESET encoder to confirm the name.
5. The display shows a location (bank number and slot).
6. Rotate the PRESET encoder to select the desired location.
7. Push the PRESET encoder to select the location and save the preset with the chosen name in the chosen location.

QUICK SAVE
To quickly save a preset hold down the PRESET encoder until the display shows SAVED.
